The article states BSL is short for breed specific legislation designed to control certain types of dogs that are deemed dangerous.

Lumping all dogs into one certain catagory is wrong. The correct catagory for banning should be SOB, Stupid Owners Banned! Even a mild mannered Golden retriever can be vicious if it's treated wrong and not taught correctly. While it is easier for certain breeds to be aggressive, it is the owners who make or break the dog.

I do agree certain people should not own certain breeds but that doesn't mean the entire breed should be banned. It is up to the responsible breeders of these breeds that are being cornered for being banned that really need to step up to the plate. They need to do more investigating who is getting their pups and making sure the owners socialize the dog properly and go to obedience classes with them.
